Gerald was familiar with Waylon’s family. Since when had they opened a company that was completely unrelated to their family’s business?

After some thorough investigation, Gerald found that there was a problem and he immediately sent a message to Zack to have him double-check for him.

“Come on, tell me. What did you find?” said Fay with a smile. It was just a background check after all. Why did Gerald make it sound so grand?

“You wouldn’t get it, but just know that I’ve found something big!” said Gerald before chuckling.

At that moment, Gerald received a call from Ava which surprised him slightly.

“Gerald? Are you doing anything after work tonight?” asked Ava as soon as he picked up.

“Why? What do you need?” asked Gerald rather coldly.

Though Gerald used to treat Ava kindly, her constant cold behavior toward him made him want to treat her equally as coldly.

“Well, I was thinking of treating you to dinner. You’ve joined the company for two days now and I still haven’t tr

    After grabbing on to his arm, she began looking at Gerald flirtatiously. Though her eyes were indeed, very attractive, Gerald was still shocked. “Ava, are you alright?” “No… No, I’m not. Could you please accompany me?” she asked as she pulled him deeper into her house. Eventually, Gerald ended up being pushed onto her bed. She then began taking her dress off seductively. Gerald could only gulp. Ava was really beautiful, after all. She had fair skin and a great figure. As she pressed her body against his, Gerald felt heat rushing through his body. His throat felt dry as Ava continued undressing. Her upper body was now mostly exposed. All of a sudden, the door was kicked open and two people rushed in! Ava immediately rolled off the bed and covered herself with some clothes as she screamed, “Hurry! Get the d*mn pictures!” One of the two men who had entered was Nathaniel while the other was of course, Stuart. Nathaniel seemed to be recording as Ava started crying. “S

    Gerald smiled. The trio before him would never be able to remotely even come close to anticipating that he was the actual owner of the company. He then looked toward Ava before saying, “High school friends, huh? Why are you doing all this to me? Since when have you become this way, Ava?” “Don’t even think about playing the friendship card, you b*stard! After laying your dirty hands on me, don’t even dream that I’ll let you off easily! Since you’re talking about friendship now, why didn’t you save a ticket for me earlier this afternoon then?” “The most hilarious thing is that you lack even the most basic of common sense! Did you really think that I’d ever fall for or even make out with you? Keep fantasizing about it, that’s all you’ll ever get!” Since they weren’t filming anymore, Ava found no further reason to filter her words. She knew Gerald well. All Gerald was, was a poor and powerless pauper. Knowing the difference in power between them allowed Ava to execute her plan

    “Oh, you’ll see what I mean in a little while,” said Gerald with a smile. At that moment, a few cars arrived at the entrance of the building. When their doors were opened, out stepped Spencer—Waylon’s father—, Jarvan Wilson—the current deputy minister—and Norman Lay—the investment company’s assistant manager. All of them bore serious expressions on their faces. Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke were present as well, both looking equally upset. If Gerald hadn’t sent Zack a message telling him that there were problems with the company, neither Zack nor Michael would have ever found out that all this was happening under their noses. As it turned out, the profit of the company and the departments within it were all involved just because of a few people. After hearing what Gerald had found the night before, Zack called everyone relevant back to the office before interrogating them thoroughly throughout the entire night. Under Gerald’s order, he was to bring them to the office now. As

    A knock was heard on the door and Gerald looked toward it. His legs were still crossed when he shouted, “Come in!” Zack and Michael then led Spencer and the rest into the room. “…H-huh? What?” said Stuart, stunned. Everyone in the room was involved in the matter. Even Spencer Letts was here and the ones taking the lead were Mr. Zeke, Mr. Lyle, and Mr. Wilson! “This…” That was the only thing the trio managed to mutter. Stuart, Nathaniel, and Ava were dumbfounded. When they finally came to their senses, the trio shouted, “Mr. Zeke! Mr. Lyle!” “Mr. Crawford, they’re all here!” said Zack as he ignored the three people. “…Huh? Mr. Crawford?” “…That’s a joke right? The f*ck? He’s Mr. Crawford?” Everyone was shocked. This was especially so for Stuart and Ava. “M-M-Mr. Crawford...?” Ava felt like she could hardly breathe. “Well, since everyone is finally here now, let’s begin. So, Mr. Ferguston, tell me about the papers again. Where do I need to sign?” said Gerald as

    “Gerald?”Xella Jaquin and Waylon Letts were both startled.The entire marketing department was confused.“Alright, I’m coming!”Gerald shouted back.“Gerald, you…you…you are Mr. Crawford?” Xella stuttered. She was clearly in shock.Though Cindy’s mom joked around once, saying how Gerald could actually be Mr. Crawford from Mayberry the last time they had dinner at their place. Xella was just flabbergasted back then when she heard of the joke.But when she gave it a second thought, she was quite close to Gerald, so how could he be the super-rich Mr. Crawford?But then, just a moment ago, when Mr. Lyle had called out his name, Xella’s mind completely went blank. Gosh, could Gerald be Mr. Crawford?!Gerald turned to Xella and nodded, “Yep!”He then left as the crowd stared at him in astonishment.Waylon, initially brought in by Xella to visit her father, was dumbfounded as he fumbled around for a chair to sit.“F*ck! Gerald is a rich heir, and he’s our CEO! No wonder he ha

    “Young man, is your house in this town?”The driver was a middle-aged man. He asked warmly and flashed a smile.Gerald nodded.“Well, congrats, kiddo, your town is about to undergo quite a significant development, and no piece of land here will be left unattended! Not only will they provide housing fees, but also demolition fees and many job opportunities too! You look like a college student, so when you’re back home, you should make good use of this opportunity!”“Yeah, that would be nice!”As they chatted along the way, they eventually arrived at Gerald’s hometown.It was a town, but Gerald’s home was in a small village in the middle of the city—a town village.There were many families in the village that run mills. They ran businesses like milling flour and such.Back then, the best part about the village was the fantastic fragrance of freshly milled flour in the air.But this trip back to his village, it was apparent that the fragrance of milled flour which Gerald missed w

    “What do you mean by that, old man? What do you mean it’s theirs? I’m warning you, I’ve consulted with a lawyer, and if we bring this to court, the contract you signed will not be counted! The real estate certificate is ours anyway!” Sandrilla said frantically.‘Seems like they’ve been quarreling about the matter for quite some time now.’ Gerald thought to himself.Earlier, when he called Mr. Winters, he sensed that Mr. Winters was in a bad mood.It turned out that they had been quarreling.Even if the housing estate belonged to the Crawfords, why would Gerald even fight with them for it?“Besides, didn’t Gerald win the lottery? Why would he still care about this house anyway! And I don’t know where I lost the house key for the lock!” Sandrilla continued, fuming. “Hmph!” Mr. Winters grunted as he picked up a large rock from the ground.“Excuse me, what do you think you’re doing?” Sandrilla asked as she stepped back in anxiousness. Mr. Winters then stormed towards the door a

    They threw death stares at Gerald.Gerald had unintentionally embarrassed them previously at the hospital. Because of that incident, any word that came out of his mouth at the moment seemed to be just infuriating.“Okay, that’s enough. It has been a while since Gerald came back, so let’s eat first.” The eldest brother gestured everyone to the dining table after hearing what Gerald had said.Upon the eldest brother’s persistence, only then did the family get seated at the dinner table. Regarding the housing matter and seeing the angered expression on their father’s face, he was afraid that he would fall sick once again from the stress and tension. Hence, for the time being, no one touched on the topic.“Gerald, have you finished your internship? Have you found a job already?” The third brother quizzed.“Hah, seems like he hasn’t found any job yet, though. It’s difficult to look for a job these days, and if it wasn’t for our third bro pulling some strings, even Francis would

    Watching in fury as his black air blade dissipated, Daryl roared, “W-what power…!” As Daryl was too shocked to move, Gerald took the chance to yell, “Attack…!” And just like that, a blazing light momentarily lit the entire sky…! As surges of energy shot out in all directions, Daryl’s devilish formation was reduced to dust in a matter of seconds! “No…!” howled the anguished Daryl as the earth beneath him cracked and clouds of dust flew everywhere! It was chaos incarnate… yet moments later, everything fell deathly silent. Gerald himself had already vomited a pool of blood by now, and as he fell unconscious, he could feel his body freezing up… Fast forward to three years later, Mayberry Commercial Street was as lively as ever… “Darling, it’s your brother’s wedding day today… Shouldn’t we head over earlier? You’ve been dolling yourself up for ages!” “Fine, dad… Though, isn’t Second Uncle already there to help set things up? That aside, my brother’s gone through so many hardsh

    ‘Daryl’s been possessed by the Supreme Devilish Lord for ages, and the lord himself has been using your grandfather’s body to attempt his resurrection! This cycle has been repeating for years, and the Supreme Devilish Lord has already captured many people with Yin physiques but thankfully failed! This grew so out of hand that the Soluna Deus Sect, or Sun League as you call them, have actively been trying to force the Supreme Devilish Lord to show himself!’ ‘In order to further deter the Supreme Devilish Lord’s efforts, they’ve even been kidnapping people with Yin physiques! Do you see the entire picture now, boy?’ explained Finnley. ‘…So that’s the truth… Then, how’s Mila?’ asked Gerald. ‘She’s fine, but your reunion depends on whether we can destroy him this time!’ replied one of the white-robed ladies. That was relieving to hear… Still, as it turned out, the Sun League weren’t villains at all! They had simply been abducting people like his second uncle, Mila, and Leo for the

    His chest felt like it was exploding, and it didn’t take long for blood to spurt out of his mouth. What immense devilish power…! Following a sneer, the Nirvadevil sect’s master scoffed, “I know you raised your cultivation level this high because you want to learn more about the Sun League, but you should understand that devilish cultivators will always be stronger! Did you really think that acquiring the angelic inheritance would give you absolute power? How laughable! Your Herculean Primordial Spirit won’t save you this time!” Furrowing his brows, Gerald retorted, “…Who on earth are you? How do you know me so well? In fact, how do you know about my Herculean Primordial Spirit?” Laughing in response, the master then said, “Oh, you’ll know who I am soon! But before that, allow me to snatch your Herculean Primordial Spirit! I need to destroy it so that the sacred Primordial Devilish Internal Pellet can reign supreme…!” Upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but frown even more.

    “…This formation. It feels… familiar,” muttered Sanchez. “Same thought here. I think it’s the Septelic Perishment Formation of the ancient Black Dragon Sect!” replied Gerald. “Ah, no wonder it felt so familiar… Though, wasn’t this formation lost to time ages ago? How did you learn of it?” asked the surprised Sanchez. The formation had been a legendary one that, as Sanchez had said, had been lost at the end of the ancient era. Just from its name alone, one could imagine that this immensely powerful formation had been used against the people of the Deitus Realm. In the end, however, the allies of the Deitus Realm still managed to destroy the Black Dragon Sect, thus leading to the destruction of all the sect’s other mysterious and bizarre formations… Naturally, they had made sure to obliterate all of them to ensure that nobody in the future would be able to threaten them like that again in the future… Whatever the case was, Gerald was quick to reply, “I read about it somewhere.

    Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Lord Ethern was prompted to reveal a few samples of the herbs they were locating… and it wasn’t long before Gerald felt his eyes twitch. After all, those samples were herbs inherited by the ancient witches… In other words, they were the ones he was for as well! Naturally, Marcel recognized them as well, and he was quick to say, “…These…” Noticing how the two were looking at the herbs, Darkwind muttered, “…I take it that the herbalist they’re looking for really is Ms. Phoebe, Mr. Crawford?” “…Well, it’s hard to say if she is since Marcel already said that the timing wasn’t right… Regardless, this is an important clue. Lord Ethern, was it? Could you elaborate a bit more on your master?” muttered Gerald as he turned to face the man again. “I really can’t say…! Look, Master always appears before us in a shadowy form, so none of us have ever seen his face!” replied Lord Ethern while shaking his head. “…Is that the truth?” “I swear on my life!” exc

    “Flaxen, you bloody traitor…!” roared the three other lords who grew so angry that their faces went red!However, they had no time to remain angry since the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez had already made their move! As one would expect, it only took a single round for all three of the lords to crumble to the ground.With his eyes wide open, Lord Ethern stuttered, “Who… Who the hell are you people…?!”“You don’t need to know that information. That aside, tell us what you four are planning to do already,” scoffed Gerald as he slowly approached the three defeated men.“…Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think I’ll comply so easily?” growled Lord Ethren.Upon hearing that, Gerald raised his hand… and within a split second, Lord Ethern let out a bone-chilling wail. The Blancetnoir Double Lords had just snapped both of the poor man’s arms!“If you want your other limbs intact, don’t make me repeat the question,” growled Gerald.Now terrified, the agonized man replied,

    From what Gerald could tell, all of them were devilish cultivators. After all, their auras were way different compared to regular cultivators like Gerald and demonic cultivators like Sanchez. Though he had read about devilish cultivators before in one of Uncle Zeman’s books, this was his first time actually coming across them. It was a while later when the frowning Sanchez muttered, “So, they want to ambush some herb lady… Is she the one we’re looking for?” Sanchez, for one, had pretty much been frowning throughout his journey with Gerald. His only hope at the moment was for Gerald to find the person he was looking for as soon as possible. Otherwise, who knew how long that boy would continue controlling his life! Regardless, Marcel was quick to add, “I had the same thought, Mr. Crawford. After all, Phoebe excels not only in pharmacology, but also in all sorts of special techniques and formations!” Watching as Gerald nodded, the Blancetnoir Double Lords couldn’t help but scoff,

    There were two straightforward purposes of the trip. The first was to find Phoebe, the descendant of the ancient witches. Only by finding her would Gerald have a chance to locate Daryl’s hideout… Hopefully the Yinblood pellet—that was now in his hands—would aid with that effort… As for the second goal, he was hoping to retrieve the inheritance according to the Zearl’s instructions. After all, he’d only stand a fighting chance against Daryl and the Soluna Sect after getting the inheritance. While it was true that Gerald’s cultivation level was currently one of the highest in all of the cultivation realm, the fact remained that Daryl practiced devilish cultivation, and those from the Soluna Deus Sect were already in the Deitus Realm. In other words, he was merely an ant to them, which was why he was making sure to fully prepare himself before confronting them. Though he now had Sanchez and the Blancetnoir Double Lords under his command, he still felt that he was underprepared… Re

    Now that all three of them had been subdued with the Nineraid Band, the other big shot cultivators couldn’t help but stare enviously at Gerald, knowing full well that they’d never be able to obtain his angelic artifacts. After all, if he could take down the Blancetnoir Double Lords and Sanchez, then what chance did they have? By this point, Sanchez had managed to get to his feet, albeit with quite a bit of difficulty. Naturally, he no longer dared to make any rash moves on Gerald. Instead, he was prompted to resentfully say, “You’re really something else, Gerald…! It makes me wonder why you still need our help. After all, not only are you the sole person who knows the secrets of the general’s tomb, but you also possess those angelic artifacts!” “Oh, don’t you worry about that. With how powerful you three are, I’m sure you’ll become indispensable assistants as we head to the North Desert in search of a certain someone!
